Though Austria refused to permit Monten egro to acquire Antivari,lest it become virtual. | ly a Russian port, she does not object to the} acquisition of Spisia, which will give the Mon- | tenegrins access to the sea.

The Austrian precautions in ‘Transylvania are being hastened.

The Vieuna correspondent of the Daily| Telegraph says the relations between Austria and Roumania have become closer. He also| says the Emperor William advised Prince | Charles te yield Bessarabia, and abilicate if the Roumanians raised ditticulties, but the Prince refused and went to the army. This German interference has given offence at Vi- enna.

The Times, in an editorial on Sir John Hol ker's reply to Mr. Gourby in the House of| Commons, expresses the utmost contidence | that England has nothing to fear from Ala-| bamas or Fenians.

Her Majesty's steamship ‘* Triumph” armor- plate, 6,660 tons burthen, and carrying |4 guns, has started for the Pacilic to relieve the “Shah,” 6,040 tons and 26guns, as flagship.

Mork Apovut THE The tinding of has re-directed

McCartauy Murprer the stone in the Scadouc} attention to the rumored

low water mark near where the body of

McCarthy was put in. Search will be made

to test the truth of the report. It has been

learned that McFarland, who was thought

to be the midnight visitor at the Osbornes

bar on the 12th October, was not in Shediac

at that date, though de was there on the

21st, when he was seen at the Adams House.

The Riley girls will corroborate this state-

ment. An important witness has just been

discovered in Moneton, whose testimony it

is said will corroborate some evidence al-

ready given. The stone found in the| Scadoue has evidently been used as part of | a chimney or fire place. It is half-dressed

and one surface is discolored by soot and

smoke. Our report says that a fibre of rope was adhering to the stone when it was

raked up.
